there is a changeover in 1989/1990, the earlier ones are a few mm larger in diameter. change occurs when they change form pin mounted arms (patrol style) to eye mounted arms (80 series style), the earlier ones are a few mm larger in dimater. you can use the LATE bushes in the early arms by leaving the outer ring in place and pressing the new bushing into the ring of the old bushing.
I think the 80 series ones match the newer, smaller diamter - both kinds are available from toyota but they aren't cheap, the retail price here is around $85 per bushing. (x8 to do the whole vehicle)

not that I could find when I was looking for them a year or so ago. if there are 80 series castor correction bushes that include the bonded outer steel ring then I'd say they would press fit into the outer ring of a bundera bush left in place.
what I did was to carve up old body mounting rubbers into acceptable shapes and re-using the inner sleeve and outer ring. booty+++ but it was cheap.
